so im back at school!! yay! I moved in yesterday, in record breaking time...which was way amazing. However, I am not completely unpacked.  Okay, that statement made it sound like I just have a few random things to be put away...and that is false.  I still have about four or five boxes of stuff to put up..not to mention the fact that some stuff I have unloaded is currently just chillin on my shelf.  So really, I have a lot of work cut out for me lol. but thats ok...i have all year to put it away!

In other news, I helped move freshman into my dorm this morning...for four hours. 8-12.  which meant i had to be at my meeting at 7:30...which meant i had to wake up at 6:45.  and lets just say its been quite a while since ive been  up that early...so it was somewhat rough. but it was fun. i met quite a few new girls that seemed interested in CRU, and coming to my Bible study (im leading Bible study for the freshman girls in my dorm...for those who didnt know that!) So even though I am absolutely exhausted now....and incredibly sore (four hours of nothing but lifing incredibly heavy boxes/tvs/microwaves/containers/etc will do that to ya!)...it was really fun, and i just love being able to help people like that.  Its so cool because you walk over to someone standing there with this huge pile of crap, looking incredibly overwhelmed and scared, and you ask them if they would like help and start talkin to them about where there rooms are and stuff, and they just seem so much more relaxed and comfortable...and that is way cool! So yea...morning was fun!

Rest of the week/weekend is just as crazy busy....filled with all kinds of activities where we get to go and "mingle" (they love that word here lol) with freshman and get to know them and invite them to CRU and Bible study.  Tonight I am going to a sports themed party with all the blow up inflatable stuff...so it should be fun!

Much love to all my xanga world friends....hope you are all doing great!

so today i was at the doctor...and we were talking about my lack of a boyfriend. yes i know, its kinda awkward to talk about your love life with your doctor, but my mom worked for him for four years...so i guess that kinda makes it ok.  anyways, were talking and he says all non-chalantly..."you should go out with ben (his son).  hes 19, same age as you.  true, he might be two grades behind you, but age wise you are the same.  hes cute, and a really good guy."  i just kinda awkwardly laughed and stumbled over trying to find a response.  so yes, my doctor tried to hook me up with his son...im still trying to figure out what to make of it....

so i just wanted to share my really humorous/kinda weird story with all the xanga world! leave me some love people

so sometimes i just really enjoy acting like a five year old. today was one of those days.  we went out for a family friends birthday party, and his wrapping paper was pirates of the carribean...complete with the cartoon version of orlando bloom.   so, being the freak that i am, i tore out the orlando bloom part, and carried him around with me.  Carrie then proceeded to "kidnap" him, and left me a voicemail about how she was holding him hostage at the picnic table in the back, and he was trapped by rocks of doom (which were really the bug candles).  Well five year old instincts kicked in, so i carried out a james bond style rescue, where i ducked and rolled (not kidding) behind the wicker rocker, shot carrie with my finger gun (haha) saved orlando bloom, and safely delivered him inside. He is now on my mirror.

sometimes you just need to be a kid again

So i guess i promised an update last time...so here it is!

Don't remember everything i said about camp, other than that it was awesome! i got to spend three weeks with some absolutely amazing people that i dont get to see/talk to nearly enough! and it was amazing.  Ive realized how much ive missed some of them, and how i really need to work on keeping in touch with people (im pretty bad about it). God was amazing these three weeks...i had a much needed hiatus from everyday life, and just got to spend some time alone resting in God.  I feel like Im trying to hurry my life along sometimes...like im ready to be at the next stage of life, where i have a sense of permanence...right now i just feel like i live out of a suitcase, im constantly back and forth between cities, and states, and friends, and churches.  I cant wait for the day when i have a house of my own, that i can actually live in all the time, a church that is my HOME church, that i can serve at, and get attached to people at, and i guess i would be lying if i didnt say that "someone" to share it all with.  But God keeps telling me that i need to wait.  i have at least two years, possibly four, maybe longer than that, and i need to be content with now, the present, and stay focused on that.  and just wait for God to show me where to go, and how to get there, and who to go with. so yea...i guess thats where my life is right now.

In other news, i just got back from spending a couple days down in northern kentucky with my family. I absolutely love getting to spend time with them! i love them to death, and dont get to see them nearly enough..so it was awesome.  We went shopping the first day, well because thats what we do best! Be proud though....i didnt spend any money! Next day we went to the zoo, which was really cool. Now this probably sounds really cheesy, but its true, so hang with me. So I was excited for the zoo, but it really wasnt a big deal...but once i got there, it was awesome.  God totally spoke to me, like hardcore about how amazing He is.  Just seeing all those different animals, and all the cool stuff He equipped them with was just like...wow, our God is so huge and so awesome, and so cool.  For example, the elephant has over 100,000 muscles in just its trunk (cheesy, I know, but i thought it was cool...you know me and my anatomy brain).  That is soooo amazing to me! The God we serve, the same one who loves us, and cares enough to know whats going on in our lives, made all these amazing animals, like elephants, and giraffes, and monkies, and peacocks, and lemurs, and elands (betcha dont know that one! haha) But yea...so sounds kinda cheesy, but its true.  God spoke to me at the zoo lol.

Thats about it for now...leave me some love people!
